LWJGL 3 Shader Problems...[SOLVED]

[Wolfman13]

I'm working through the "3D game development with lwjgl" book by Antonio Hernández Bejarano. I'm stuck at chapter 4(Rendering). I followed along with the source code but I keep getting this error message:
/home/*username*/jdk1.8.0_181/bin/java ...
java.lang.NullPointerException: source
    at java.util.Objects.requireNonNull(Objects.java:228)
    at java.util.Scanner.<init>(Scanner.java:578)

    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

Process finished with exit code 0

I also tried the "lwjgl3-demos-master" , and I also got a NullPointerException. I'm using IntelliJ IDEA Community 2018.2, LWJGL Release 3.2.0 and I'm programming on Linux Ubuntu 18.10

You tried what exactly and were getting a NPE where exactly with what exact stacktrace?

Make sure to actually import the project as a Maven project!
You are likely missing the res/ folder as a classpath resource root, so that at runtime the ClassLoader cannot find the shader/texture/etc. resources in the classpath.

Yes I imported as maven project and the shader programs were in the resource folder.
